From here, follow the Waterfall Way scenic drive an hour inland to reach the UNESCO - listed rainforest of Dorrigo National Park — it's brilliant for birdwatching, with
satin bowerbirds among the most prized sightings.
A rich array of marsupials including eastern grey kangaroos, swamp and red - necked wallabies and short - beaked echidnas is on offer across the regions, with East Gippsland particularly attractive to travellers interested in shyer forest dwellers, including yellow - bellied and greater gliders, lace monitors, king parrots, eastern whipbirds,
satin bowerbirds, numerous honeyeaters and the most famous songbird in Australia, the superb lyrebird.
